! KNOW 1T NOW.

I heard her, oh how cautiously,
Open my bedroom door;
I heard her step as noiselessly
To my couch across the floor;
felt her hands my temples press,
Her lips just touching mine,
And, in my anguish and distress,
'Twere sinful TO repine.
Our pilgrimage is nearly through
We've passed life's mountain brow;
thought loved her years ago
know love her now.
Her face was lowering over mine,
Her warm tears on my cheek;
Her whispered prayer, OF thought divine,
Rose fervently and meek.
Her bosom rested on my arm,
felt its tremulous throe;
I knew the cause OF its alarm,
And felt its source OF woe.
And the blood my system through
Came pressing on my brow
I thought loved her years ago,
know I love her now.
Thus watched that tried and patient one,
BY night as well as day
In sadness and almost alone,
Till weeks had passed away.
Bereft Of sleep-deprived of rest
Oppressed-borne down with care,
TIN, oh! her labor has been blest,
For God has heard her prayer.
Her cheek resumes its genteel glow
And placid is her brow
I thought loved her years ago,
know love her now.

Keeping Flo..ers Fresh.

Cut flowers may be preserved fresh,
It is said, for long time in the follow
ing manner: Get a glass shade and
place it on a noH-pOrous vessel to form
a stand; put water around the bottom
to keep the shade air tight, then pro-
cure fresh cut blossoms, put them in
water Immediately, drop into the water
in which the flowers are placed a small
quantity of spirits of chloroform, md
place the shade over them at once.
The flowers thus treated, some writer
says, will keep fresh for months. bit
one should hardly expect they would
be in very fresh condition after their
four weeks confinement, but the new
preserving process is worth trying.
Care should be taken to have all in
readiness. As soon rs the chloroform
is put in place the shade over them,
and water always kept around the bot
tom. A large soup plate would do for
this,-N J. Herald

Most women naturally look forward to
matrimony as their proper sphere in life,
but they should constantly bear in mind
that a fair, rosy face, bright eyes, and a
healthy. well-developed form, are the best
passports to happy marriage. All those
wasting disorders, weaknesses, "dragging &
down" sensations, and functional irregular
tiles peculiar to their sex, have an unfailing
specific in DR.. PiePce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton. 1t is the only medicine for women,
sold by druggists, asideT a positige guarantee
from the manufacturers, that it will give
satisfaction in every case, or money will be
refunded. This guarantee has been printed
on the bottle-wrapper, and faithfully carried
out for many years.

Catarrh

CatarYh
May affect any portion Of the body where the
mucous membrane is found. But catarFh of the
head is by far the most common, and, strange to
say, the most liable to be neglected. It originates
in a cold, or succession of Colds combined with
impure blood. The wonderful success Hoods
Sarsaparilla has had in curing catarrh warrants
in urging all who suffer with this disease to try the
peculiar medicine. 1t renovates and inyigorates
the blood, and tones every organ.

In connection with denomination to that

advocated and secured for George w. Es-
ser the nomination and election fer the
third time to the Office of Parliamentary.
By so doing the Democracy departed from
the beaten path of custom and have opened
q way for a continuation of third term.
There is no reason why a faithful and eff.
Acient official should not be kept in Office

MAY 4, 1887.
A new and interesting road law has been
introduced and passed in the Senate. 1t
enables taxpayers of townships and road
district to contract for making, at their
own expense, the roads of such districts
and thus prevent the levying and collection
of such taxes thereon. II provides that
upon petition being presented to the
court, accompanied by bond equal to two
hundred dollars for each mile of road set
ting forth that the petitioning taxpayers
are willing to contract for keeping the roads
in repair for one year, the court shall direct
the Supervisor to enter into a contract with
the petitioners and upon such contracts
being made no road tax shall be levied in
the district for that fiscal year. The
passage of this law will undoubtedly be of
great convenience to supervisors in the
county districts.
